I have only played the demo, but I had to say that this is the first game where I had to use up almost all of the free trial time to play the demo! Great cinematics, creepy cut scenes, good music, and really challenging and different puzzles -- and I have played ALOT of puzzles so that's saying a lot. Can't wait for a good sale or an extra credit to download and play the rest of this one!
I don't review games very often, but I use reviews to help me ultimately buy a game I am on the fence about.
If you are on the fence about this one, go buy it now!
There are so many games out there that sometimes I get one thinking it will be good and then just mindlessly play it to get it over with.
This one is different. The story line is familiar, but unique and interesting.
I love that when I use an item in my inventory the screen comes alive with the object doing the action (for example, I chose a vase of water to douse a fire and the vase actually reared back and threw itself forward a few times as though I were doing it)
I enjoy little extras like collecting things and I appreciate when there is a way that I can go back to specific areas in case I miss an item. There is an owl hidden in each scene and a button in the menu bar where I can see which owls I missed. I can click on any blank spots and it instantly takes me to that scene so I can look again. Love it!
Another thing I appreciate is not having to use arrows to scroll through the items in my inventory. The items automatically scroll left or right if I hover on that edge.
Its the little details that make this game a winner for me. I gladly pay extra for a collectors edition when such attention has been given. Get it and you won't be disappointed!
I like games like this. I enjoy all of the extras like finding morphing objects and the like. I enjoy working toward collecting all of the achievements. Once you do that though I feel like you should get a reward of some kind. Once I got the final achievement there was just nothing. I need a little fanfare!
Otherwise it was a fun game for the holidays and is quite beautiful!

I have over 100 games from Big Fish. Most of them are hidden object/adventure games. This game and its predecessor are hands down the best I have ever played. Worth every penny.
